What a mess, a Somsak in hotel scam, isn't there any way they can blame falang in this case?

He is ready for Thai Parliament, actually he is ready for any parliament in the world - he passed the most important test "cheating and lying"

+1...Very true.

You are right bander.......................I think it was you all the time who scammed this dive ! biggrin.png

"Khun Boramin would always act in a high-class way"

High Class? 19th Aug to 21at September, that's over 30 day where he dined every night in the hotel Restaurant and the bill came to over 30,000THB, that's about 1,000thb per day, seems to me this is a hotel that is even too cheap for the Cheap Charlie Brigade. gigglem.gif

Thais do not take kindly to a thief who is beating them at their own game...corruption is only corruption if one gets caught!

"Who had accrued a Hotel bill of over 30,000 Baht"

That's Step #1.

Step #2 is to "learn some things" on the Internet.

Yeah he sure looks like a high roller but all show and nothing inside like so many other times in Thailand ... cheesy.gif stupid hotel letting it slide to over 30,000B, they deserve it gigglem.gif

Amazing that the hotel didn't take a valid credit card. Another note that this guy appears to be qualified to teach English to Thais.

"Hotel Staff attempted to clear his bill without success."

He might have presented a card at check in which they used when attempting to "clear" his bill. If you just present a card when checking in without an advanced booking, not sure they would always do more than check the expiry date and his name against some other ID.

When you present a card upon check in the hotel have the option to shadow funds on this card for the cost of your stay. If you leave without paying they can petition their merchanting company (card processor) for payment. Meanwhile the funds they shadowed on your account are not available for you to use.

Interestingly it is nowhere mentioned that the hotel asked him to pay the bill. Just accumulating the charges is not a crime as long as the hotel let him do it. But maybe the reporter just forgot to ask this critical question.

"...after Hotel Staff attempted to clear his bill without success". Did you read this? Maybe read it here. Hotel staff attempted to clear his bills without success means they asked him to pay but he didn't.

Yes, I read it but missed it. My bad. Thanks for your clarification.

You're just being silly & petulant.
